Social, peer to peer, visual - “dark matter” of the Internet
Many experts, academics, researchers, industry gurus have active blogs
Blogs now incorporated into main search on Google and Google News – no separate blog search anymore
Great way to tap into expert knowledge especially with new and innovative technologies and industries
Essential for competitive intelligence and reputation monitoring
Twitter up to the minute but skewed view of what is happening

Social tracks you everywhere
Ghostery for Chrome

Authenticity and trust
Look at the biography or profile if there is one. Check out previous work, postings, tweets etc.
Who else is part of their network? Are they in any Twitter lists?
Who is linking or referring to the article and what are they saying about it
Put the posting, tweet or update into context
– look at the whole conversation or timeline, who else is contributing
Look for clues, what isn’t there?

General Search and Monitoring Tools
10/04/2023 www.rba.co.uk 27
Google and Bing are not very good at searching social media
Bing is slightly better than Google for but most of its social search options are restricted to people who are located in the US
Free third party tools searching social media give a superficial overview because of API limits but that may be enough (bear in mind you might miss essential information)
Priced services give more detail and analysis but you may still have to search within the network itself
Searching within the network/service gives you more options and access to more information
But some tools require you to sign in using your network ID
Bing gets personal
